Comic Exhibition



If you have teenagers who are into comics then this exhibition may be of interest. Burger Force : the exhibition, curated by Sally Flynn, puts a multi-media spin on the traditional comic book, revealing behind the scenes work, limited edition artworks and life size comic panels.



The exhibition will feature artworks from the recently launched independent comic series of the same name. It features heavily modified photographs of real people and places and is created using a combination of computer software and hand retouching. If you aren’t aware of Burger Force the comic you can view the first issue online at www.burgerforce.com. This edition sets the scene for Burger Force’s undercover agents, who switch from serving thick shakes and fries to thwarting threats to civilisations by diabolical masterminds.



While the exhibition is on now a series of interactive workshops for young people will be run during National Youth Week (10th -18th April). Get an insight into pop culture when Brisbane-based writer and director Jackie Ryan, visits Redland Art Gallery, Capalaba, to conduct the workshops.
